hey! OK, when I was 19, I had panic issues, too...I personally found that a benzodiazepen (Klonopin) was really the only thing that helped, at the time at least. Of course..benzos have discontinuation syndromes, too, but those can usually be managed. In addition, benzos are very, very effective, so it might be worth the withdrawal later to be able to leave your house now. Ativan, another benzo, supposedly has a pretty mild withdrawal syndrome. As for suing...probably not going to help. Doctors have really dropped the ball when it comes to warning patients about these issues; the Effexor people, in particular, have been pretty good about warning health professionals that these drugs can cause problems upon discontinuation.

You still have a life, and you still have a future.

Good luck!
